Summary

A witness reported the observation of 12 silent objects moving west on August 26, 2012, at 9:30 PM. The objects appeared in waves and had an oval shape with a red border, orange interior, and three visible yellow points. Although initially unusual, photographic analysis revealed their lights were similar to Thai lanterns. The light wind from the east and slow movement also matched typical lantern behavior.

The GEIPAN classified the case as "B," suggesting it was likely three Thai lanterns tied together. Despite not being circular like standard lanterns, their structure with three yellow points in a reddish-orange envelope fits this explanation. The gendarmerie conducted an investigation and contacted local media, but no evidence of an unexplained phenomenon was found. In short, an interesting case, but with a plausible earthly explanation.
